  • "Lovely cottage, perfect location (we have loved Solva for years!"

    ). Comfortable beds. We loved the upstairs - the natural light was lovely and it was warm in the evenings. Downstairs was colder and darker but still worked well for us all as a TV/movie room for the kids. Lots of space for us all throughout the cottage. Only problem was that there were no provisions in the kitchen - no dishwasher soap, no washing up liquid, no bin liners and no sponges. Only two dish cloths (we cooked big meals every night so these two were filthy after the first day of drying up pots etc) Also no hand towels in the loos. So we went to the local shop and bought these. But we would come again, the positives definitely out weighed the negatives. Thank you v much.

    Thank you for the feedback. Sp pleased you enjoyed the cottage and Solva and apologies with regards to the lack of provisions. These should have all been in the property on your arrival but pleased to say we have changed cleaning firms for the next guests to hopefully resolve any issues such as these in the future. Look forward to you returning. Kind regards, Rob and Laura Property Owner

  • "We have stayed in Pembrokeshire countless times but never in Solva."

    After the great week at Tan y Craig this changes now. It was exactly as listed. The kitchen was well stocked. There was plenty of hot water, which is always a bonus when sharing a house with a large number of people. Yes, you could hear cars and vehicles outside but what do you expect being on a main road? Our white noise machine (for our baby) drowned everything out. The parking space outside was useful but a tight squeeze if you have a large car. There was quite a strong damp smell in the front bedrooms, almost as if the linen hadn’t dried properly. We cleaned ourselves and reported to Sykes before leaving. The washing machine and outside utility room was very handy. Note that it’s a washer/drier and it takes a long time to complete a load. Most people wouldn’t be bothered by this given that they are on their holidays! We would not hesitate returning to Tan y Craig in the future, but not with 8 adults. The adult bunk beds were fun for the first couple of nights but at the end of the day they are still bunk beds. It would be perfect for 4 adults and 4 children.

    Thank you for the lovely feedback. So pleased you enjoyed the house. It is very much a family holiday home where our own children have grown up. I have reported the linen situation and thank you for your understanding. We look forward to you returning as guests at Tan Y Craig. Kind regards, Rob and Laura Property Owner

  • "Adorable cottage close to the quay."

    The second sitting area provided a great place for the kids to play. Lots of games available.

    Hi Jennifer, Great to hear you enjoyed your stay at Tan Y Craig. We also love the sitting room and outside space upstairs. Look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kindest regards, Rob and Laura Property Owner

  • "Tan Y Craig is a stunning holiday cottage perched above the harbour In Solva."

    It is sat along the gorgeous Pembrokeshire coast, perfect for families or groups of friends. This lovely self-catering home has everything you need for a relaxing break – think light, open living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and comfy bedrooms with a touch of luxury. The terrace upstairs is perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks as the sun sets over the sea. Solva itself is a small, charming village packed with character, coastal walks, cosy pubs, and local galleries. Plus, you’re just a short drive from St Davids, Whitesands Bay, and some of Pembrokeshire’s best beaches. We absolutely loved our stay and will 100% be back. Thank you very very very much from all the Edwards Family xx

    Hi Millie, Great to hear you enjoyed the cottage. We look forward to welcoming you back as guests of Tan Y Craig. Kind regards, Rob and Laura Property Owner

  • "We found the property to be very tired and note the photographs were obviously taken some time ago!"

    The front bay window which looks onto the street, two of the pains of glass were badly marked or stained which obscured your view. All the windows throughout the property were very old, single and not double glazed, including the bedrooms, which didn’t close properly, allowing the street noise at the front to come in. This meant, unfortunately, we were awakened most mornings around 5:30 am by speeding cars, lorries, buses, tractors etc as this is the main road. We are very careful when we book properties and we always read the reviews so we cannot believe that no one at all has commented on the traffic noise. We can only assume that people didn’t sleep in the front bedroom because if they had I’m quite sure they would’ve commented. We did note that someone had mentioned the front bedroom window with the bunkbeds in had a broken latch and so the window would not close properly and the reply was that it would be repaired before the next visitors arrived. We were the next visitors, and this was still broken. Luckily we did not need this bedroom. On a positive note the property was very well equipped with everything you would need for a family or couple to cook or eat. We did find it odd that each bathroom only had one very small toilet roll. Bearing in mind this property could sleep nine people, one toilet roll in each toilet would not have been adequate. Surely a spare could’ have been provided bearing in mind the cost of the property. It’s small touches like this, plus hand soap in the kitchen, a small carton of milk for a cuppa on arrival and maybe a box of tissues that are important to us rather than a bottle of Prosecco and a couple of packets of biscuits and some popcorn in the welcome pack. Bearing in mind check out was 10am and check in was 4pm we have to wonder how long the cleaners were actually there as no windows were cleaned including the balcony glass which was actually green! This is the first time we’ve booked through Sykes cottages and generally book through Airbnb or Country Cottages. Whether it’s Sykes cottages that deal with this or the owners we’re not sure, however we will have to consider carefully before booking through Sykes cottages again.

    Dear Steven, I'm sorry to hear of your problems at Tan Y Craig. It is a family holiday cottage and much loved by ourselves and regular users. With regards to your comments about the windows, they have all been measured and replacements/repairs are due to be done at the start of next season. There is a constant maintenance program on the cottage as is needed with an Old Welsh Cottage near the sea. We appreciate any feedback and always have it in mind when preparing for the season. I'm pleased you report that the property is well equipped and I will have a word with the Housekeeper regarding the toilet rolls and Sykes regarding their general management. Kind regards, Rob and Laura Property Owner

  • "Tan-Y-Craig is a lovely cottage in the middle of Solva."

    The open plan kitchen, sun deck and two living rooms give lots of space for socialising. Solva is beautiful, has plenty of pubs and places to eat and is well placed for walks and beaches. We had a great time. Thank you.

  • "The cottage was lovely."

    Very clean and well equipped. The only down size was that the cottage was not very warm. We tried to light the fire but it kept going out. Near to excellent pubs and the harbour so perfect location.

    Hi Denise, Very pleased that you enjoyed the cottage. Please let the team at Sykes know if you feel the property is cold in future as the property is fully managed. The cottage should be maintained at a comfortable heat with the opportunity to override the temperature using the NEST thermostat located on the 1st floor landing.

  • "House could do with some TLC - paint chipped in areas but particuarly the windows need looking at."

    Filthy in and out with the front lounge windows not closing properly and seemed warped. The front bedroom with bunks - the window handles had fallen off so did not close at all, making it a safety hazard with kids along with making the traffic noise unbearable and the room was not used for this purpose. Without double glazing - the rooms on the front were so loud. House had huge cobwebs in areas and a musty damp smell overall. Was x 3 bags of food waste left in the bin area attracting bugs, which was not collected during our stay, along with our own rubbish which was not collected on the Monday as stated. The In- house information book needs updating as they say rubbish is collected on a Thursday but was told Monday by Sykes. In both cases, rubbish not collected during visit. Also in the In- house information book, they say the Harbour car park opposite is free for National Trust users which is not the case so a little misleading.

    Thank you for your feedback. There is a regular maintenance program at the house so any areas you have mentioned will be looked at promptly. The bin collection has only just changed in the last few weeks due to the Welsh Government changing the rules so we will update the collection date within the handbook on the next available opportunity. We apologise if you feel misled regarding the parking in the Harbour Car Park, all I can say is that I have used the car park for the past 11 years displaying my National Trust Membership card and this has been accepted by the local Car Park Officials. Below is some information I have taken from Solva Community Website: https://solva.gov.wales/solva-car-park/ "Although there is nothing on the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority (PCNPA) signage to alert National Trust members I can confirm that “National Trust members can park for free in the PCNPA car park in Solva – as long as a valid membership card or sticker is displayed clearly on the front windscreen or dashboard.

SOLVA

St Davids 6 miles; Haverfordwest 12 miles.

A superb village around a tidal harbour where boats can be launched and walks along the dramatic coast path will be a delight any time of the year. This pretty little village may be small but offers friendly pubs serving good food, gift shops, art galleries and a nearby superb woollen mill shop where special gifts can be bought to remember your stay in Wales. Lazy days sitting and watching the ebb and flow of the tide and the boats bobbing in and out of the harbour are a sheer delight. Visit the nearby woollen mill itself to sit by the waterwheel, go into the weaving shed or enjoy a break in the cafe. Just a few miles from Solva you can visit St Davids, the smallest city in Britain, with its magnificent St Davids Cathedral and wander the small streets to again find unique gifts, eat a hearty meal or an afternoon tea, or just sit in the peaceful grounds of the cathedral, it also houses Oriel y Parc an information centre offering suggestions for exploring the surrounding area. Whitesands Bay with its superb beach offers relaxing days or maybe some surfing. Take boat trips to spot dolphins and wonderful sea birds or take bike rides along country roads. A wonderful location to enjoy your Welsh holiday.
